Hey guys,
So I'm trying to burn and run a few Saturn games, but got this really weird problem.
No matter what burning software I use (I'm running Linux btw), the game's redbook audio seems to be completely replaced with white noise. Game and sound effects work fine, but the music is just white noise!
I've tried multiple games, from multiple rippers, but its always the same.
Now if I burn the game in ImgBurn (running under wine), the game works fine!
Has anyone got an answer to this? What is ImgBurn doing differently?
This is driving me mad....(I can't get wine to recognise my dvd drive in the latest Arch Linux update, so I'm a bit stuck)
help appreciated...

UltraISO is what I generally use, but ImgBurn is the most reliable. As for your problem, I've never heard of such an issue. So it would require more info.

I've always used Nero, but I'm using an old version I never updated (7.8.5.0 Lite) because it always did its job perfectly. I've had very bad experiences with Imgburn, and I've heard many people who had issues and solved them by ditching it in favour of something else.
Can't comment on Linux burner apps.

OK - thanks guys
So has anyone out there seen this weird redbook white noise issue? Utterly bizarre. If I put the burned disk into a cd player, I also get the white noise on music tracks.
The only thing i can think of, is its some sort of encoding issue. Was the game music not ripped as .wav or something? Does ImgBurn automatically reencode stuff?

I had the exact same issue as you. Eventually I found a solution for the terminal. But I did not found a solution using a GUI. Here is what worked for me is: $ cdrdao write --swap --speed 8 "XXX.cue"
- cdrdao being the application
- write being the command to write
- --swap for byte swapping the audio files
- --speed being the lowest write speed for my particular CD-R
- XXX being the name of the .cue file
So the issue seems to be the byte swapping of audio files. I don't know why ImgBurn dous this automaticly correct. And linux applications have to have the option marked manually.

Wow - it works. Huge kudos!
I'd completely given up trying to work this out.
Can I ask how you figured this out? I'm still not clear after reading the man page what that option even does really.
Huge thanks!

I would also like to know about the redbook audio, it has been thirty years, has anyone found a way to extract the audio files? I mostly have the game discs for segacd and sega saturn. I'v been trying to figure it out, no answers.
